Comparative example 1: without purification and recovery treatment
Compared with the embodiment 1, the difference is that the separated cathode material is directly adopted for electrical property measurement; the method specifically comprises the following steps:
the waste lithium ion battery negative electrode powder is directly ground and sieved by a 400-mesh sieve, and smear test is carried out according to the proportion of 90:5:3:2 (waste negative electrode material: conductive carbon: CMC: LA-133).
The first coulombic efficiency is lower than 78% (0.1C), and the capacity is only 280mAh/g after 10 cycles of circulation
After long-time circulation, the performance attenuation of the waste lithium ion battery negative electrode material is large, the waste lithium ion battery negative electrode material cannot be directly used as a battery material after recovery, purification and impurity removal treatment are needed to recover the performance, and meanwhile, lithium is one of main recovery targets as a rare metal and needs to be recovered.
